I have looked and looked and I can't quite see the cherries.

I am not worried about the cherries. I have been busy on Google trying to source this model of "picker"!

    Look more like melons to me...

    Yes, no doubt about the melons but what about the cherries on top?

    Is daisy cutter a pseudonym for cherry picker?

    I own a parrot bebop drone (which is at the low end of the drone spectrum), my thoughts would be:

    a) the battery life of commercially available drones simply isn't long enough for the stated purpose, definitely not long enough to keep it in the air for a quarter. The life on my drone is approx 12-15min depending on weather conditions. you don't find too many that can stay in the air for more than 20min.

    b) depending on the complexity of the drone you may require 2 people to operate it - 1 person to control its movement and one to control the camera, which is the way movie studios use them.

    c) if it gets hit by a ball 30m off the ground (entirely possible in afl) you can kiss goodbye to your drone.

    d) can't fly it in wet weather

    There are other reasons around privacy, potential for personal damage etc. But I'd say the main reason would be the battery life.

    I know some local clubs are starting to use them to film games and training drills .

    Ok i cannot take it anymore, it isn't a cherry picker, it's a scissor lift, and do not say it's the same thing!

    Sorry for the outburst!

    Sure it wasn't a knuckle boom?

    Or a manbox?

    Telehandler with a man basket?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
